I just might pick this one up if I have enough cash left after my two AT-STs.

Is everyone getting two chicken walkers?

I'm hoping for 4, as that's a "column" in my little EU world, and I'd like to see them marching along with mechanized infantry running alongside. Love the AT-ST. There's a slight chance I'll consider more as well, to possibly customize to some extent. I'd kind of like to make the specific one that gets hijacked on Endor, but part of me thinks it's a possible repaint anyway.

I considered a "Hoth deco" one too, but to make it really accurate it's going to require intense customizing, as that's pretty much a completely different model of walker in every way... besides having 2 legs of course.

Not to continue derailing this thread, but how is the Hoth AT-ST different from the Endor one? Thought they were both the same.

The models are completely different between the two films, actually. The ESB walker appears a bit taller (higher up an AT-AT's legs than the Endor model would be), sleaker, and its "chin guns" were significantly longer actually, than the ROTJ model. The biggest difference is in the length of the cockpit "head" from front to back. It's a bit longer (sort of giving it a more sleak appearance) than the ROTJ model which is a tad more squat.

Ultimately the model makers intended them to be the same I'm sure, but the models were different by the time ROTJ's filming started.

Not to say a winter deco of the new sculpt wouldn't look cool and I imagine it'll happen at some point, but the differences are significant enough to me that I consider them different models. This one's pretty well based on the ROTJ model all around, save for perhaps the ring around the hatch which isn't right.

Ah, here is where I am on the Hoth Version of the AT-ST.... it is like the Panzer IV in WWII... you had model F2 and Model G/H and Model J (which seemed to be a de-evolvion) all in the same theater of operations.

So the 2 ATST's could easily have been on Hoth..the problem is Canon tells us only one did.
